Devotions

Mom gave me a birthday gift of a certain amount of money, which went towards a part-purchase of something I could not afford (anbd honestly still couldn't but) - a tineco vacmop. I've had it 36 hours and it honestly is the best; it vacuums and mops hard floors in a single pass. I've cleaned my kitchen floor twice so far. Even if the rest of it stays on my credit card until pig butcher in October I'm calling it worthwhile.

A person I didn't know very well came up to visit and for once I was not the first person in the conversation to say loosely "it's arbitrary the way we draw lines around what an organism vs an ecosystem is, a human is composed of lots of different genetic individuals like gut biota etc"

I am incredibly grateful for hoses, without which I'd have to bucket water.

Brassica carinata is amazing, I've eaten off it once or twice a day for quite some time now and intend to continue doing so.

The corn is growing so fast and I love it.

Avallu is a very good dog and accepted my friend.

Writing inspiration has come to me, a little, and I spent some time today working on a thing. It's almost done.

My hair is pretty right now, it's neat to look at and I like it.

And now I am so grateful for sleep.
